Quantum for Engineers
- Four 2-hour upskilling/reskilling courses that are targeted to be a technical introduction to quantum technologies and their applications.
- Designed for a technical audience who wishes to increase their quantum literacy, and gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts relevant to today’s quantum tech industry.
